On further reflection, I think the patch is safe to upload to Precise, and I will do this. I'm not entirely convinced the bug meets the SRU guidelines for Lucid
so I won't prepare an SRU for it. I have however uploaded vm-builder_0.12.4-0ubuntu0.3~ppa0 to my PPA so you should be able to grab it from there and at least test it to make sure it fixes your problem. If you think an SRU is warranted, please review the guidelines above and file a separate bug for that.
